John Thomas Fischer

Gansevort

John Thomas Fischer,
59, of Gansevoort passed away on January 30, 2014, bringing his battle with
COPD to an end as he was reunited with The Lord. John was born on August
9, 1954 as the son of John Edward Fischer and Camilla Notargiacomo Fischer in
Astoria, NY. He spent much of his life in the garment industry and other
management positions, including his work with the Salvation Army in New York
and Massachusetts. John loved to tell stories and to make others
laugh. In the final months of his life he often reflected on how much
family meant to him, and expressed how thankful he was for the meaningful
relationships he’d been able to establish with them.

John is survived by
his son and daughter-in-law Charlie and Laura Wilson of Elmira, NY, son Matthew
Fischer of Wilmington, NC, and son and daughter-in-law Justin and Kristy
Fischer of Gansevoort, NY, as well as his grandchildren Joshua, Jeffery, and
Adam Wilson, Marcy and Marley Fischer, and Jacob, Kaitlynn, Elijah, and
Benjamin Fischer. He is also survived by his mother Camilla Fischer of
Valley Stream, NY, his sister AnnMarie O’Malley of Valley Stream, NY, his
brother Larry Fischer of Myrtle Beach, SC, and his sister Toni Dempsey of Long
Beach, NY. John was predeceased by his father, John Edward Fischer.
